Dark Battle

Rules

"How did the other pokemon get hurt so badly?"

{battle}

"Damien trained this other one, and it got hurt, then he sent you to the pokecenter? Is that what happened?" She seems very confused.

{no. wildfire belong to another trainer. wildfire was hurt in battle with my god}

"How could a pokemon get hurt in a trainer battle?" she mutters. It doesn't seem to be directed at me.

I wondered about what they had said. If the healing god didn't believe what I had said, then maybe what had happened was against the rules. But my God wouldn't have done something like that...and why did she not know I was telling the truth? She is a god, after all...

"Since this isn't a official match, how 'bout a fight to the finish?" says your god. I can feel the bloodlust radiating from them.

"With dark-types? Even if we wanted them to return, they won't stop until one is down," says my God, a touch of smile on His face. He laughs, a hard, cruel sound.

What was so special about an official match? How was it different then a fight to the finish?

{what are rules for official pokemon match?}

"Um...there are a lot of them. Can you be more specific?"

{What ends pokemon battle?}

"When one pokemon is unable to fight. That can happen if the pokemon is asleep, paralyzed, frozen, fainted or sometimes poisoned or burned. The trainer can also forfeit if they don't want to continue the battle. Why?"

{not until on is dead?}

"No, of course not! That would be barbaric!"

{against rules, then?}

"Yes," she said, then paused. "How exactly can you type? Pokemon can scarcely understand the human language normally."

I don't understand that. I guess she means we can't comprehend what the gods mean...but it sounded more like she thought we couldn't even understand the words...but that would be wrong. A god can't be wrong, after all...

{god taught me. wanted me be able to type. not say why. maybe for me to get help for him, or maybe make sure I not stolen.}

"Wow...but I thought trainers couldn't teach pokemon. How can a sentient creature converse with a non-sentient one?"

Sentient?

{god taught me. his other pokemon not able to learn. it took long time. god was mad at me often. he was angry that I'm not very smart.}

"Where is your trainer?"

{not know. phone number on collar.}

"Right...let me just call that." She takes out a phone and peers at my collar, dialing.

What will happen? I disobeyed Him...perhaps He will kill me for it.
